The learned counsel for the petitioner has invited the attention of this Court to the series of proceedings initiated at the instance of the fourth respondent and though the appeal petition before the Debts Recovery Tribunal, Coimbatore was filed by the fourth respondent as early as in the year 2017, no disposal is being given on account of the dilatory tactics adopted by him and also on account of want of regular Presiding Officer in the Debts Recovery Tribunal at Coimbatore and hence, prays for appropriate direction for expeditious disposal of the appeal.
